Nice tease with the conversations...i feel like a secret agent in the van waiting for that illicit speech...while tripping on the laced coffee i bought at Costa's...the waves of sound are getting stronger.....it's getting closer...i know it is.... 13.50 and counting...over halfway and the anticipation
grows....where is she? ....that voice we love to hear...... 16.20 and the heart beat increases.......the breathing is labored the anticipation intense.... the waiting ....the waiting....it's near 18.11 ...a numbness...the wait carry's on..... now i know what you've done....you Bugger!!
The audio in the video video is a selected annotated collection of Electric Aeolian Harp recordings taken over a consecutive 36 hour period. During that time the environment changed (wind, rain, sleet, snow) and I changed the tuning of the harp…
I was listening to Andy Casson's song Old ladies over on Songcrafters and it got Reg thinking........... could this be the last song i ever hear................so Reg went down the cellar to write a one chord song using only the notes that make…
Bob and Reg got together tonight down the cellar and came up with this one dedicated to Desirea......Reg didn’t realise at the time but Desirea had got her hooks into Bob as well during her time down the cellar....but hey, all's well in love and…
a song about hoping for the best for all of us. the ending riff is about angst and disapointment and i use a flange on the ending lead guitar work. the closing of the song inspired me to make another song called locked door to my soul.
performed by Ashley Reynolds
from the album "Sunny, sorta..."
and she opened her eyes
the frailness all gone
but she wasn’t surprised
it was fortold all along
and the healing complete
not a shell anymore
what a magical feat…
this song - purple mountains was iriginally a jam back in 75. chris vaisvil was the guitarist and i always remembered it cause i liked it. he had an echo-plex then and it was pretty psychedelic. no keys were originally in the song but it was a…

DREAMER(Lyrics)

Intentional or not you sound like a 78 rpm record - it is like listening to folk song from the 30's - that is very cool. I like you composition and obviously the production.
Reg has been thinking he's fed up with all this celebrity crap.......the emperor is naked can't you see..........
CELEBRITY STRIFE (Lyrics)
I’ve said this once
I’ve said this twice
I don’t give a damn about the celebrities life
About who…
Celebrities at one time were paid to live the life the audience wouldn't dare to live. That was the real entertainment.
Its like the fake preacher at the entrance of the Renaissance fair who was on a tree stump yelling "Don't go in - it will make you a sinner! Inside is just sin! You will go to Hell if you go inside!" And I shouted back - "What if I pay you to go in and sin for me?" He stopped a moment looking thoughtful and then said "How much will you pay me?"
They were Black and Blue but finally Elvis got up and did his stint in the Live in the Living room fest....................................it was good practice for his strumming, cause by god does he need it.....but no one dare tell him…
The energy levels were at an all time high this weekend when Bon and jimi turned up down the Cellar for a session. Here's a little something from the session........... Reg'n'Roll...other Reg really blisters the guitar on this one
OH WHAT A…
Reg got reminiscing tonight down in the cellar and decided to cover this classic by dear old Rodney..............the piano needs a bit of work....but hey at least i'm trying ...at least i've found out what a F sharp minor is this evening and that…

Special thanks to my sons middle school band, The Preston Pumas playing at the end !
jqscutt posted the acoustic guitar track looking for ideas, not sure if it turned into the genre he was looking for :)
The auuuggga horn sound was another classic unplanned phone interruption during the vocal recording but it seems to fit in…
